How can I perform a build process of a certain tex file, different from the current one I'm editing with the Sublime Text 2 Editor?

I use the Sublime Text 2 Editor with MikTex and Sumatra PDF. My latex work is built out of a main.tex file and separate chapter tex files which are included in the main. My intention is to start a new build process of the main.tex file independent of the current active tex file I'm editing.

    You can also have a look at makefiles, and custom makes in sublime text 2. Once you learn how to use them, they become very powerful tools.

If you are using LaTeXTools you can specify the TEX root parameter in your source code. For example for such tree:

book.tex
chapter01/main.tex
chapter01/01.tex
chapter02/main.tex

Specifying the %!TEX root = ../book.tex (the path is relative) in chapters .tex files would allow Sublime Text 2 (and LaTeXTools, same for TeXworks, for example) to compile the book.tex, while editing the chapter01/main.tex.
